Chopper Hopper Solids Reduction and Transfer Pumping Ensuring waste is never wasted . • Food Processing • Waste handling for disposal • Rework or recovery of product • Rendering plants • Slaughter plants - process internal organs • Orange peels, juicers • Waste potatoes • Meat Products The Chopper Hopper is a powerful and aggressive grinder pump that combines solids reduction and transfer pumping into one efficient unit. It homogenizes objects like whole fruits and vegetables into a pump-able puree or mash. Up to three stages of solids reduction are available for coarse, medium, and fine par ticle size. Feed Hopper Objects are dropped into the hopper and are then sent through the re-breaker. Pre-breaker Pre-cutters break up the solids, including organic waste such as large produce and hard materials like stones and seeds. Typical Applications Features and Benefits Ease of Processing A grinding and pumping operation in a single, compact op - eration with fast process times due to a large surge capacity hopper and high flow rates. 3 Staqe Solids Reduction Available for coarse, medium, and fine particle size. Drastic size reduction occurs in the first stage where fierce cutting blades grab, tear, and shred solids, as big as whole watermel - ons, down to a particle size of less than 1” in a single pass. Second and third stage grinding provides the desired solid size and texture needed. Multiple Cutter Designs Angled cutters for grabbing or tearing large size objects with additional cutters located in the extension tube for further solids reduction. The design allows for optional fine grind conditioning through homogenizing units. Materials of Construction Available in carbon, stainless steel or specialized materials of construction. Gear Joint Design The design of this progressing cavity pump allows for low fric - tion of the gear joint design, leading to less wear and better overall performance. Easy Disassembly Cutter shafts and pump internals are made to be easily dis - sembled, reducing downtime. Screw Conveyor Objects are fed into the conveyor and mechanically transferred into the grinder. EZstrip™ Progressing Cavity Pump Progressing Cavity Pump now transfers pumpable slurry onward for further processing. Grinder material is macerated into a homogeneous slurry. nov.com Corporate Headquarters 7909 Parkwood Circle Drive Houston, Texas 77036 USA National Oilwell Varco has produced this brochure for general information onlyand it is not intended for design purposes.
